Former Olympic Skater’s Brother Released on Bail After Assault and Death of Father.

Mark Kerrigan, brother of skater Nancy Kerrigan, charged with assault and battery in an incident involving his father, was released on $10,000 bond.

Kerrigan, 45, was fitted with a tracking device and under conditions of his release is not allowed to leave his home other than to visit his attorney. He also is forbidden to use any drugs or alcohol other than prescription medication, can have no access to weapons and must have mental health counseling.

He was arraigned in January and pleaded not guilty to charges he assaulted his father, Daniel Kerrigan, 70. The elder Kerrigan died January 24 after an alleged altercation with his 45-year-old son at the family's home in Stoneham, Massachusetts.

Mark Kerrigan, through his attorney, has denied any responsibility in his father's death. He was found in the home’s basement extremely intoxicated and com,bative. At the time he claimed he was suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome from his military experience.

Nancy Kerrigan first gained prominence by winning a bronze medal at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France. In 1994 she earned an Olympic silver medal in Lillehammer, Norway.

She is perhaps best remembered for surviving an attack before the 1994 Winter Games by skating rival Tonya Harding's ex-husband and an accomplice.
